My Hero Academia is ending in just a few days and the superhero shonen franchise is taking the opportunity to reflect on some of the biggest moments in the lives of Class 1-A. Throughout the manga, we have witnessed Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo go from bitter rivals to the best of friends. Now that their relationship has solidified in the epilogue arc of the manga, the beloved anime franchise has created new art to highlight the past of the two former rivals. With the final chapter releasing shortly, this art might bring some tears to the eyes of My Hero Academia fans.
Warning. If you want to avoid spoilers for My Hero Academia’s epilogue arc, turn back now as we’ll be diving into spoiler territory. As we witnessed during the final fight against Shigarkai and All For One, Bakugo once again came close to death. Luckily, thanks to some quick thinking from Edgeshot, Murder God Dynamight’s heart was remade after it was destroyed by Shigaraki. In the final fight against All For One himself, Bakugo was directly responsible for landing the final blow against the demon lord and in doing so, took a major evil player off the board to solidify Hero Society’s future.

Thanks to Deku’s endearing spirit, the pair have forged a newfound respect for one another that is sure to continue into the final chapter.
While My Hero Academia’s manga is ending, the anime still has some big things ahead of it.
